I got a Note 3 yesterday and updated it to KitKat straight away. Loving it! However, why have they decided to get rid of the feature that lets you hide apps from the app drawer? Is there any way to get it back?

Just download a 3rd party launcher that has that feature or just make a folder and put in your apps you want to hide.

There is not option for that, if you want to hide system apps, just disable it from settings or download Apex Launcher
Coolio I've disabled some apps but the ones that can't be disabled are now in a folder called "Zzzz" Thanks guys

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!
I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!
Anyone try Nova Launcher on N3 yet ?

air command
Sorry for the noob question, I'm waiting to get my note 3. The air command from the stylus is not launcher related right? If i change launcher they are still there?
Thanks!

No it's not related to Launcher. Will work with Nova as well as any other Launcher.

I was surfing XDA today, and the Play Store, back and forth earlier. And thought, what the heck, I'll just use Multi Window and do both at same time.
But these two apps aren't available. How do I add more apps ?

If you have root, install Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed and you can add more apps through that.

Got a question.
On the Nexus five you can swipe to the left to get google now to come up. Is there anyway that can be added to an s4?

I'll have to try that all I want to do is even swipe up and google now appears. I use Google now allot and its a pain to have to open the app would be good to just do a gesture and it opens.
I use Nova launcher and have set double tap on screen to be google now. Very handy.
This thread has the launcher you're looking and some other 4.4 goodies.

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia
It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?
Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts
Nothing?
I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.
